Christmas Edition Update

Mother nature has stretched us all to our limits this year! Few have had anything close to “normal”. Many have had hot, cold, wet, dry, frost and hail throughout the season or even in the same week! So as the balers and headers roll across the country we are seeing big variances in both yield and quality. It is years like this where Feed Central’s Quality Assurance Services can differentiate your product and ensure buyers and sellers know what the quality is. On top of Visual and Feed Testing services for hay, straw and silage, Feed Central offers a full set of GTA /Milling and Feed Testing for all grains. This information is increasingly being used by buyers and sellers to set and negotiate price. In simple terms, grain with a good feed test should be worth more to a buyer as it will improve animal performance and profitability. Sellers can choose to advertise their hay and grain on our website, where buyers can use a combination of simple search options to find the product that suits them. Start advertising – Click here!

KEEPING IT SIMPLE… Hay and Grain > Buy > Sell > Test

Feed Central organises the short and long term supply of hay to key clients. We are experts in working with backgrounders, dairies and feedlots to manage the supply chain and quality requirements, from seeding all the way to the end user.

Feed Central offers growers the ability to advertise hay and grain product for direct sale on our website. Growers can choose to upgrade their listing to one of several quality assurance options, with their contact details displayed so buyers can contact them directly. The website attracts thousands of buyers per day and quality assured lots are also marketed via our sales team.

Wow – CHRISTMAS already! We greatly appreciate the support of so many dedicated and loyal clients, and would like to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas.
Like many other businesses, Feed Central will close from 5pm Friday the 22nd December to 8.30 am Monday the 8th of January. Previous experience shows that we do very little business during this time and it will ensure that everyone from our small team comes back refreshed and ready to serve clients in 2018.

If you need product over Christmas that is okay. We can manage that if you place your order as early as possible. For samples, please be assured that our mail and sample drop boxes will be checked daily and samples will be preserved in cold storage until we open again.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas from the Feed Central team! Team Christmas Party 2017.
